Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lyndhurst

My fiancee and I are buying our first home. The solicitor has texted usto ask if we wish to order additional conveyancing searches. As novices we in the dark as to what's relevant for conveyancing in Lyndhurst

The number and type of Lyndhurst conveyancing searches depends primarily on the premises, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your familiarity of the area and risks, your overall attitude to risk. What matters is that you adequately understand what information the searches could supply. You may then make a decision if you personally think you need that search. Should you be uncertain, ask your property lawyer to advise.

I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Lyndhurst. The Lyndhurst property was put into my name in September. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this provision principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.

It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Lyndhurst bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Lyndhurst conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the lawyer is on the bank approved list, they must follow the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Skipton. Is it usual for Skipton to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Lyndhurst is approved on their conveyancing panel? Skipton have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for hinderance in Lyndhurst conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Lyndhurst.

There are plenty of short leases in Lyndhurst. The lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the marketability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to extend the lease term.

We advise that you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
